Hi there Tikay....

Yes I met you in Monte Carlo where I was a qualifier through Betfair....  

Whats your name on Betfair?

Let me guess "Shaa" only asking as im on there all the time, but never seen a Shaa?

If thats the case, how come you dont get pople saying " Its great here on betfair" and get the reply "waddaya mean, this is william hill"

Actually you do get that!

only the other night i had a semi bad beat on the river, and typed in:

"thats Betfair for ya"

...And some guy replied:

"No wonder you got beat, you don't even know what site your on, this is Will Hill Ya Pr1ck"

I just laughed, re-stacked, and took all his chips for being such a doofis!

He could also have been saying it to try and get you to bet less so he could draw cheaply. It's strange how everything can have so many different meanings in poker.

Thats the Beauty of it!!

And thats whats got me Hooked!

and I can go to any of these and find the same game?

You certainly can me ole boy.

It will come under the same name on all three sites

Something like:

 'MTT123456 - NL - Texas Holdem - $30'

Just to let you know that I will give you as many updates as I can during the week. So far so good. Arrived at Gatwick to find my Premiun economy seat had been upgraded. Am now sitting in the upper lounge having a manicure and next the head massage....how did I ever travel before. The other advantage of this lounge is the quality of the ladies who travel to Barbados etc in the lounge. How can I fail to win after this start.

Ah but if you think about it, Thats you used up most of your Luck and Good fortune.

which one is Betfair on???

my fault the polls not up yet

give me a chance to get a shower and some breakfast and i'll start a poll

Not a problem mate, i just thought it was my who wasn't looking properly!

PS get oot of bed ya lazy bugger!

[but i cant see the Poll???]

Ok so we have a list, but i cant see the Poll???

i know ive read some comments about betfair, but should they not be on the poll.

Wait a minute.....are they included on the Crypto???

Thats my preferred option.

I too play at the Riverboat, and am really looking forward to the opening of this new Cardroom on Bridge St.

I just need to ask, do you need to be a member, or do you need to know a guy, who knows a guy, that can vouch for you etc?

I know, i know, its embarrassing, but It was the name given to me by my Mum, what can i Do???  lol

Excellent post Mr Wall.

I only Registered for this Forum today and yours is the first post ive read....Im glad i did.

I too played my first live game about 2 months ago, in almost the exact same Environment, except it was in Glasgow, and it was Unlimited Re-Buys for 1hr 45 mins.

Your spot on tho, when you speak of the excitment and buzz of playing Live games as opposed to Online gaming, its far superior. You really do begin to learn a whole new area of expertise, which is imperative in order to compete with the So-called 'Big boys' of this game. (Well the big boys of Glasgow anyway lol)

Right thats my first post out the way, heres to many more interesting discussions and reads.

Nice to meet you all

Regards
Dave
